the Twenty-second Decennial Census of the United States, enumerated
as of April 1, 2000.
SECTION 2. It is the intention of the Texas Legislature
that, if any county, tract, block, or other geographic area has
erroneously been left out of this Act, a court reviewing this Act
should include that area in the appropriate district in accordance
with the intent of the legislature, using any available evidence of
that intent, including evidence such as that used by the Supreme
Court of Texas in Smith v. Patterson, 111 Tex. 535, 242 S.W. 749
(1922).
SECTION 3. The districts set out in Article II of this Act
apply to the election of the members for those districts of the

general elections in 2004 for members of the 79th Legislature. This
Act does not affect the membership or districts of the Texas House
of Representatives of the 78th Legislature.
SECTION 4. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2003.
